Command the Typhoon!Veteran Captains in Star Trek Online will have heard of the Typhoon, a ship that launched with STO but was never made available to players. It's status as an unflyable ship made it incredibly desirable, even as STO moved on to more modern ship designs. But we never want to leave you hanging, Captains, so our team of master ship artists and designers went back and remade the Typhoon for a new era, soaring onto your screens as part of the Dimensional Typhoon event.
Once you have earned sufficient Daily Progress to complete the “Dimensional Typhoon” Special Event, you may claim this Starship for your entire account. Just open the Event Reclaim Store to claim a Typhoon Temporal Battlecruiser (T6) for each captain on your account.
Typhoon Temporal Battlecruiser (T6)
A massive battlewagon, the Typhoon Battlecruiser is the largest starship to emerge from Andoria’s Laikan Shipyards. One of several options considered in Starfleet’s late 2380’s rush to build “super capital” ships, the Typhoon was the smallest considered and passed over for the more graceful Odyssey-class to be Starfleet’s next ship of the line.
Briefly abandoned, the Typhoon’s rugged frame and powerful engines spoke for themselves as tensions escalated with the Klingon Empire at the turn of the 25th century. Though the Typhoon is large, it is still significantly cheaper to produce than an Odyssey-class Star Cruiser, and Starfleet planners recognized its potential as a vanguard flagship, using a mix of specialized equipment and ample firepower to lead squadrons from the front as a combat command ship.
Several Typhoons were rushed into service as conflict with the Klingons escalated, and they saw harrowing service during the subsequent string of conflicts that culminated in the Iconian War. Now, as Starfleet and the Khitomer Alliance sense a renewed threat looming from the encroaching and multi-dimensional Borg conflict, the Typhoon has undergone a sixth-generation refit and is ready to face another spate of “interesting times.”
This ship comes with a Commander Engineering / Temporal Operative Specialist Bridge Officer seat and a Lt Commander Tactical / Command Specialist Bridge Officer seat.

Console – Universal – Protonic Snare Projector
This special equipment suite allows a dynamic creation of a protonic energy field that grows as it travels to be created in the field using simple replicator technology. The energy that constitutes this field is protonic in nature, but also resonates with enemy starship hulls, infiltrating their energy relays to shut down their ability to activate abilities or to move.
This console also provides a passive boost to Starship Projectile Weapon Training skill, and Starship Projectile Shield Penetration skill.
This console mod may be equipped on any starship and may be equipped in any console slot. You may only equip one of this console at a time.
Description:
Creates Expanding Net, Damages and Holds
- Create an Energy net that expands as it travels up to 10km in your facing direction
- To Foes: Proton Damage up to 3x per sec (per overlapping beam) and Brief Hold
Starship Trait – Piggyback Launch Tubes
Specialized torpedo launch tubes allow for additional Microcharges to be loaded and fired alongside your ship's standard torpedoes. When firing a torpedo at a foe, you will automatically also launch a Microcharge for additional Kinetic Damage to that target. This microcharge works while under special firing modes but will only ever fire a single additional projectile at your primary target.
Description:
- When firing any Torpedo Weapon, launch a microcharge that deals additional Kinetic Damage
